Chapter 465 Watching the Lights from the Rooftop Draws Attention
"Hey, you piece of trash! Get your ass over here, or I'll beat you to death, or I'm not Liu!"
The sixth princess, embarrassed and ashamed, shouted loudly, completely lacking the dignified image of a princess, instead displaying a hint of the spoiled and domineering nature of a domineering older sister next door.
This sight instantly startled the Wen family.
Then, the next second, everyone burst into laughter.
"Hahaha."
"Hehehe."
A relaxed atmosphere gradually emerged, and the children watching from the sidelines began to whisper among themselves.
Wen Qing blinked, then asked in a daze, "Fifth Brother, is Princess Sister-in-law's surname Liu?"
Wen Chengmo replied without hesitation, "Of course not."
Zhou Ruirui leaned closer and giggled, "I remember, the Master said that the royal family's surname is Yao."
"Okay, I get it now."
Yao Xiaomi, thinking herself clever, said, "My cousin-in-law, Princess, is so angry and embarrassed because of my eldest sister."
Wen Chengyu: "That's right, I was so angry that I forgot what my own surname was?"
Wen Chengjing: "Look, not only is his head smoking, but his face is also burning red! Big brother's face is also very red!"
Ren Jinning looked up and exclaimed, "It really is! If it keeps burning, it'll turn into charcoal! Oh dear! Quick, pour some water on it, we..."
How could we not hear the children's whispers? Everyone had amazing hearing and heard every single word.
Wen Chengjian glared at them, and the Wen siblings, realizing what was happening, each quickly covered the mouths of the children.
The number of people was just right: Wen Chengbin and his two brothers, and Wen Xia and her sister, were enough to keep seven children in check.
If these little mouths keep going on and on, Wen Chengjian and the Sixth Princess will probably be so ashamed they'll turn to charcoal, and even the Yellow River wouldn't be able to save them then.
Seeing their three older brothers and four older sisters covering their younger siblings' mouths tightly, and their little faces looking completely bewildered, Wenwen, Yao Maimai, and Yao Suisui burst into laughter.
"Hahaha......"
"Hehehe...that's hilarious."
"Ouch, my stomach hurts from laughing!"
Wen Chengjian and the Sixth Princess exchanged a glance. At first, they were both a little shy, but in an instant, they let go of their reserve and burst out laughing together.
Laughter filled the room instantly, bringing everyone closer together.
Whether it's sisterhood or a secretly developing romance, it's all slowly growing stronger.
Afterwards, everyone sat down to drink tea and chat, occasionally peeking out the window to watch the bustling street scene.
Soon, shouts from pedestrians on the street could be heard outside the window.
"Look, the tower is lit up! Let's go!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, the earlier we go, the better the spot we can get."
Upon hearing these words, the children all looked at Wen Chengjian, their eyes seemingly asking: Big brother/cousin, when are we going to see the lanterns?
Before leaving, everyone agreed that they would listen to their eldest brother's command; if he went east, they couldn't go west, and they would follow his arrangements completely, otherwise there wouldn't be a next time.
Wen Chengjian understood, but he hadn't expected to meet the Sixth Princess here. He was undecided whether to accompany his younger siblings to see the lanterns or to stay indoors with the princess to admire them.
Who was the Sixth Princess? She knew perfectly well the predicament of the person opposite her. "Young Master Wen, why don't you take your younger siblings to see the lanterns?"
Turning to her head, she said, "MaiMai, SuiSui, you two go too! I'll call Granny over to keep me company later."
Wenwen was surprised to run into the Sixth Princess when she went out, but how could she leave her alone? She had to get her older brother's help!
"How about this, eldest brother, you stay and look after Sixth Young Master, while second brother and eldest sister take us to see the lanterns, how about that? Is that alright?" Wenwen asked with a teasing smile.
This is creating an opportunity for him and the princess, how could he refuse? How could he not? He absolutely must!
Wen Chengjian: "...Alright!"
Though the words were spoken with resignation, the heart soared.
Wenwen, who saw through the situation but didn't say anything, reached an agreement with Wen Chengjian with a smile on her lips!
"Isn't this inappropriate?" the Sixth Princess asked.
"Oh, Bamboo, you're so stubborn. I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore. We're leaving. You should have a good talk with my older cousin!" Yao Maimai teased.
Before the sixth princess could retort, she waved her hand and said, "Big cousin, the bamboo is in your care. You must protect her well and wait for us to return."
"Yao Xiaomi, let's go downstairs. You guys, hurry up and pick up the pace!"
"Wow, let's go see the lanterns!" Several children cheered as they headed out.
Then, a series of clattering, banging, and clattering sounds rang out as people came downstairs.
They gathered their maids, servants, and guards, and together they headed towards the tower.
There were so many people looking at the lanterns that we had to squeeze through the sea of people before we finally reached the place where the lanterns were being released.
As they walked, Wenwen's consciousness kept searching for a good spot. When she sensed a place with a great view and some empty space, she led her younger siblings to squeeze into it.
"Hurry over there, there are seats there."
A group of people followed, and maids, servants, and guards surrounded them to protect them.
The tower lights had just come on, and there was still some time before the lanterns on top of the tower were lit, but a large number of people had already gathered around the tower to watch and wait.
They arrived at just the right time; if they had arrived any later, this spot would have been packed with people.
Time passed slowly, and everyone craned their necks, hoping that the lanterns on the top of the tower would shine.
"When will it start?" Yao Maimai muttered, rubbing her neck.
"Big sister, are you blind? There was someone tying torches up at the top of the tower just now!" Yao Xiaomi said, coming over.
"Hey, Yao Xiaomi, you've got some nerve?"
Yao Maimai's eyebrows shot up. "After a few days at school, you've learned to talk back? You're asking for a beating, aren't you?"
Before she was beaten, Yao Xiaomi darted over to Wen Chengbin, raised her hands and shouted, "Second cousin, pick me up, I can't see!"
"That's fine, you can't see it, since you're the shortest!"
Wen Chengbin teased him, "Look at you, we haven't let you go hungry, how come you're so short?"
Yao Xiaomi almost cried instantly...
He felt wronged too! They ate the same food, ate and drank the same amount of food, and jumped around the same amount of time, so why was he the shortest?
His second cousin always makes fun of him. Luckily, he's smart enough, otherwise he wouldn't meet the standards in any aspect.
Where can he go to seek justice?
Yao Xiaomi suppressed her grievances, sat on Wen Chengbin's shoulders, and looked around.
Suddenly he pointed to a rooftop, "Second cousin, look over there, who is that...?"
Yao Xiaomi originally wanted to say it was his eldest cousin and the sixth princess, but he swallowed the words back in time.
The kid is quite clever, and being short, he's very wary!
Upon hearing this, Wen Chengbin looked in the direction he was pointing.
Hey!
Two men wearing masks are sitting on the roof ahead. The roof they chose is the best spot to watch the lanterns!
I never knew my older brother had this trick up his sleeve!
"Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone," Wen Chengbin said to his younger siblings the next second.
"On my command, everyone turn left, to the northwest, look up, there's a surprise waiting for you!"
The smirking tone in the second half of his sentence drew the attention of everyone who heard him.
Of course, people with good eyesight could see two figures on the rooftop in the distance.
The Wen family members, being true cultivators, recognized the two men by their attire and concluded that they were their eldest brother/cousin and the sixth princess.
After seeing it clearly, Yao Maimai hugged Wenwen's arm tightly and blurted out a sentence out of envy and jealousy.
